10	$3,700.00	$300.00	$1,250.00	$700.00

B.)

The income column goes up by $370.00 each time a customer is added.

C.)

-X-X-X-	Income	Bike Rental	Food and Camp Costs	Van Rental
Totals:	$20,310.00	$1,650.00	$6,825.00	$7,000.00

D.)

Number of Customers:	0	1	2	3	4	5	6	7	8	9	10
Profit:	$0.00	$0.00	$0.00	$0.00	$0.00	$375.00	$590.00	$375.00	$805.00	$1,020.00	$1,450.00

Follow Up:

1.)

Some changes that occur in the table are:
~The bike rental column goes up by $30.00 each time a customer is added.
~The Food and Camp Costs go up by $125.00 each time a customer is added.
~Basically all of the columns' increase by a steady interval. (They change each time a customer is added.)

2.)

The least number of customers that the Ocean and History Bike Tours could have and still make a profit are five customers.

3.)

I think that they should except no less than eight customers, because then even with all five of them they would still each earn $204.00.
